Jamie Foxx Impersonates Future in Verizon Commercial

Game 7 of the NBA Finals lived up to its hype as one of the best professional basketball games ever. But the on-court action wasn't the only source of excitement, as the commercials were nearly as entertaining. One of the best ads was a hilarious Verizon spot featuring Jamie Foxx doing his best Future impersonation.

During the 30-second commercial, Foxx plays a character named "Past," aka Future's father. Wearing a fake beard and dreads, Foxx claims to have "taught the boy everything" before spitting a quick few Verizon bars (no pun intended). Past kills his mini-verse, rapping, "I got Verizon/See me on the street, you walk up to me, you got AT&T, we fightin/We the provider/'Cuz when you start dialin'/You runnin outside, you stand in the street, you scream like 'I got Verizon'!"

It's clearly a "Fuck Up Some Commas" parody, as the instrumental sounds nearly identical to the Southside and DJ Spinz-produced banger. At the end of the clip, Past introduces a new slogan for the phone company: "It ain't about can you hear me now, it's about can you see me now."
